Saaacttu Of the Coyote. !.

1t is during the week going jast be-
fore and Immediately after the birth Of
the puppies that the old dog-coyotes
work their hardest and most systema-
tically. In hunting at this time, our
wolf adds to his ~pertinacity and zeal
the sagacity and endurance necessary to
turn his victims and drive them back as
near as possible to his home. knowing
that otherwise his mate and her weak
lings will be unable to partake of the
feast.
"The main object Of his life seems te
be the sat styling Of a hunger which Is
always craving; and to this aim all his
cunning, impudence, and audacity arc
mainly directed" Nothing comes
amiss. Though by no means the
swiftest-footed quadruped upon the
plains, he runs down the deer, the
pronghorn and others, firing them out
by triekery and then overpowerine
them by force of number. The buffalo
formerly afforded him an unfailing sup
ply, in the shape of carbon or chance
fragments left him by his Brahmans-
the white wolves who steadily followed
the herds, and seized upon dccrepit OF
aged stragglers, or upon any calves they
were able to surround and pull down.
In such piracy the coyotes themselves
often engaged, though it tried their
highest powers and success followed a
system of ~tireless worrying. The poor
bison or elk, upon which they conce
:rated, might trample and gore half the
pack, but the rest would ''stay by him, +
and finally nag him to death. I remem
Der once rea ling ah account of the
strategy by which a large stag was
forced to suceumb to a pack that had
driven it upon the ice of a frozen lake.
Part of the wolves formed a circle about
the pond, within which the exhausted
and slipping deer was chased round and
round, by patrols frequently relieved,
until, fainting with fatigue and loss Of
blood, the noble animal fell, to be torn
to pieces in an instant. Popular Science
